Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Shows-2014-Show Withdrawls

The courtyard at the Riverpark used to be heaped with rocks.

I recall I could hardly walk down this row during the show.  How depressing to not see piles of rocks narrowing the aisle.

Singing Bowls

The metaphysical people had a very impressive looking, bowl filled, tent.

We were down on the strip yesterday. The Rapa River Show was open for one final day. It’s a sad day when we see the shows shutting down, the lots are empty, and aisles that were crowded with rocks and gems, are empty. The beds have to be moved into the rooms so attendees of the Tucson Rodeo can have housing.

We noticed that our metaphysical friends were still at work with singing bowls and performing other treatments on patients. There were some type of mobiles hanging down, and I wondered what that was about, but not curious enough to take my shoes off. For the second time in the show I did not feel any different from the residual power emitted from this tent. Perhaps I should have tried a treatment so I could be more knowledgeable.

I saw a set of Crystal Bowls, the three smaller ones as a set were on sale for $555 (I assume this is a mystical number).

We are suffering withdrawl right now. Every day we woke up and decided what show(s) to attend. Today we are looking at all the new rocks we discovered. You’ll have to wait until I get home, and in my lapidary shop, to see what I hand-crafted jewelry I can make from them.

This is the last Tucson blog. If you have faithfully read the daily blogs, you may also miss them. I post blogs one or two times a month on the Snob Blog on my .com site. You are welcome to check in occasionally. I will be posting up what I do with all the stuff we obtained in Tucson, so you will want to see it. I have far more things than I was able to post, so they will be good fodder for future blogs. Stay tuned.
